About SSMGA

The System State Manager Global Application (SSMGA) uses some basic features of SSM, and a new REXX-coded application, to implement monitoring and control of operations that span multiple systems. Using SSMGA, you can:

• Apply cross-system prerequisite and subrequisite to resource status determination.
• Move a resource, or group of resources, from one processor to another with minimum transition time.
• Monitor the status of resources from multiple systems on a single, integrated ISPF display.
• Display and control SSMGA from an operator console or automation procedure by using a command rule.
• Restore the operation of a resource automatically, when its preferred host fails, by restarting the resource on an alternate host.
